The Founding Trustees: Apart from Lady Munster who herself sat on the panel of Trustees until her death in 1979, the first Trustees included friends of Lady Munster, from the worlds of finance and music. They were:- Gerald Coke, CBE – 1958-1979 Founder of the Trust and its first Chairman. Chairman of the Glyndebourne Arts Trust and of the Governors of King Edward’s School, Witley, his directorships included Rio Tinto –Zinc and the Royal Academy of Music. All these appointments were of considerable significance to the Trust. Other directorships included S.G. Warburg & Co. and the Royal Opera House. He was a serious collector of Handel memorabilia, which is now housed in the Foundling Museum in Bloomsbury. He retired as Chairman of the Trust in 1978 but remained a Trustee until the following February. Leopold de Rothschild, CBE – 1958-2005 Replaced Gerald Coke as Chairman in 1978. His appointments included Chairman of the Council of the Royal College of Music, of the English Chamber Orchestra and the Bach Choir. His directorships included the National Museum of Science and Industry, Sadler’s Wells (now English National Opera), the Glyndebourne Arts Trust, the Bank of England and his family’s bank, N.M. Rothschild & Sons Ltd. These two men, who devoted so much time and energy to the Trust and to the young artists who benefitted therefrom, have been the major influences in the Trust’s history; both from the financial work, both possessed of a great and enduring love of music. Sir Thomas Armstrong – 1958-1975 Educated at Keble College, Oxford, and at the Royal College of Music, he became organist at Christ Church, Oxford, from 1935-1955, and Principal of the Royal Academy of Music from 1955. He gave valuable support to Gerald Coke and Hilary Munster in setting up the Trust. He retired as a trustee in 1975. Sir Malcolm Sargent – 1958-1967 Eminent conductor and close friend of Hilary Munster; he was Chief Conductor of the Proms from 1948 until his death in 1967 and of the BBC Symphony Orchestra from 1950-1957. He championed Gilbert & Sullivan opera and contemporary British composers. His debonair appearance and fondness for the social life belied his skill as a musician. Despite his busy schedule, he was a regular and valuable attendee at Trust meetings. Flora Neilsen – 1960-1977 Mezzo Soprano, whose real name was Sybil Crawley, and who was a close friend of Hilary Munster. She specialised in Lieder and gave invaluable advice on assessing vocal candidates. These founding Trustees were later joined by:- Sir Keith Falkner 1962-1975 Sir George Christie, CH 1967-2007 Raymond Leppard, CBE 1968-1977 Sir Anthony Lewis 1968-1982 The Hon.

The opening chapter outlines the functions of the lute in early modern English culture and surveys previous research on the instrument and its repertory. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the hierarchical structure of Elizabethan society, highlighting shifting conceptions of “gentle” status during the sixteenth century. The complex position of music within early modern discourses on elite identity is discussed, alongside the potential of lute-playing skills to contribute towards social advancement.

The pandemic has had a profound impact on us all, no matter where we are in the world, but has also brought home the importance of music in our collective wellbeing. Music-making is our raison d’être, and it was business as usual for nearly two terms, with our students enjoying as rich a schedule of projects and performances as ever. But when Covid-19 hit and we had to close our doors, our institutional way of life was upended. Chris Christodoulou Chris As a community we are nothing if not resilient. Staff, students and alumni, while geographically distanced and often coping with difficult personal situations, continued to do what they do best – strive to make music at the highest level, and with a new flair for communicating it. The challenging task of moving teaching online was handled with commitment, and it was uplifting to see how we pulled together to support those struggling the most.
